 Nah, weather updates are far more reliable.

It sounds to me like the work around is don’t print from inside windows till this one gets worked out.  Won’t work for everything of course.  People seem to be having side issue problems as well.  I miss 8.1

Mac OS updates.

They can probably screw those up too

Windows sheer existence causes MacOs updates to break.

This update was queued on my machine, and it just unqueued itself... Looks like maybe M$ pulled it from the update servers?

[DeScruff]

Not my video but my father, and apparently 5 other people on another forum I was looking at are experiencing this kinda issue, and it seems related to this windows update: It seems Microsoft REALLY botched up printing in this Windows update,

I just had my first BSOD in years, probably.

 

storport.sys failed due to some driver. Dunno if it's caused by the update, but I sure hope so because I really don't feel like reinstalling a million drivers. 

[D13H4RD]

I think my Slim 7i is running on this build. 

 

BUT, I don't think it's this exact issue as there was some display artifacting before the BSOD, and only occurs straight after a cold boot so far. In use and waking from sleep, it seems fine

I can't be the only guy on the planet that dodged all these windows 10 update/upgrade issues in the past 4 years for my PCs at work and home.

Stuff like this is very rarely a 100% of users thing.  As example, People complained a lot about AMD’s 5700xt drivers, but in the right situation they always worked fine.  There was one issue that apparently happened only when when exactly two monitors was used.  It wouldn’t have been sent out the door if it failed in every situation.

I haven't had any issues with Windows 10 on any computer I've ran it on (a pos Sony Vaio, HP Elitebook 8770w, a Thinkpad T540p and now a Thinkpad P50), but I'm not going to deny that there's issues with the OS.

[Doobeedoo]

I just checked, I only have the first update installed not the other. No BSODs though GPU driver restart happened few times lately.

Nope, I did too.

All my reinstalls and single BSoD was because I was silly or some old software screwed something up.

Joke's on you, my printer's too old to print things from my laptops!

I can attest to this.  Microsoft Office has caused my dad's Macs more problems than literally anything else lmao!

Yeah, I'm thinking they pulled it. Because I checked for updates on my laptop (been off for a week) and that specific update wasn't available. 

 

For anyone else that has the update pending but not installed, you can flush it by deleting the entire "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" directory. You just have to stop the "Windows Update" service first as it probably has files opened. Just run the services.msc command in the search bar to get to it.

 

And don't worry about the SoftwareDistribution folder, Windows Update will rebuild it the next time you check for updates.

as someone who works in an IT dept that hates printers, I find this pretty hilarious actually.

Is there more to it than just "printing = BSOD" ?

 

Which printers are affected by it? My Brother MFC-7860DW laser printer is not causing me any issues with notepad or libreoffice.

Honestly I haven't seen any issues with printing, but I do have a dentists office who uses x software and the update is causing it to print all black pages. I've heard it's mainly Kyocera, Rico, and one other (I can't remember the name of that isn't brother). Some of the bigger enterprise companies. I know it's not Lexmark and Sharp

I haven't run into this at all.

 

Keep in mind that something changed in the Intel iRST drivers between 1809 and 1909 where if you didn't update the iRST driver BEFORE updating to 1909, the machine would do nearly exactly what's described above.

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000132470/windows-10-may-2019-update-build-1903-fails-to-install-due-to-an-out-of-date-intel-rapid-storage-technology-rst-driver

 

Now, I'm not saying that's the correct solution here, but "inaccessible boot device" related BSOD's typically point to improperly imaged machines (eg not using expected RAID driver), and since these updates seem to involve security updates, that wouldn't be entirely unexpected for something in the boot process being changed.

 

That said, what are the odds of discovering a BSOD by printing?

 

 

I know that innaccesable boot device wouldnt make sense for a windows update but I can't think of any other reason why I've seen multiple pcs run into the same issue. They have all been HP 405 G4s, so maybe it's something with that specific model.

Funny. After the last update a few days ago I had to wipe out my ssd through the bios and reinstall windows because of the srttrail issue. Nothing recommended fixed it. Thanks Microsoft for wasting my time!

I've found you can at least get files back by clicking reset my pc in the advanced troubleshooter but I couldn't recover the complete os without a re-image. Makes it difficult when theres a bunch of custom software

Printers suck ass. I had to set up one of those x ray machines you stick your head in at the dentists the other day and it was easier than most printer setups 

[Lenovich]

We had this BSOD at work. Our incompetent IT dept. starts reinstall windows on all machines.

Ah, PC-DOS 2.0....

1983, and was a very long time ago

 

Security through obscurity has its problems but it can be a thing.  Makes me wonder how well a toaster Mac would stand up to stuff.  It was before viruses as well and the code those things use is such a mess it wouldn’t be worth untangling to attack.

As with 100% of all Windows Update bugs; This will not affect everyone. They are never as wide spread as people make it out to be.

 

i have the update on every PC in my house and not a single one of them has had a BSOD. I've never had any issues with Windows update breaking things. nor has the largest majority of users. So temper your expectations

Everytime it's posted on the internet that an update is causing problems I am surprised because I have never had a single crash or problem with W10 ever since day one release. It's obviously a rpetty rare occurence but because so many people use WIndows it seems to be a bigger problem then it actually is.
